The defendant was charged with speeding (115 km/h in an 80 km/h zone) on Highway 7 in Pickering.
The trial involved legal arguments regarding disclosure of a radar manual, the admissibility of the manual in cross-examination without the author present, and whether strict compliance with manufacturer's specifications is required for radar evidence.
The court ruled that the relevant portion of the radar manual should be disclosed, that it may be used in cross-examination without the author present, and that manufacturer's recommendations are guidelines rather than strict requirements.
The trial proceeded on the merits following these rulings.
